Grosse Ile, Mich July 23, 1939Dear Folks: The vacation is still in progress although today is not much of a Sunday vacation. I am on watch at the seaplane hangar, where absolutely nothing ever happens. I am on duty from 8 AM until 10 P.M. and all I have to do is answer the telephone. In the last 8 hours there have been 2 calls. Boy; Have I been busy. All you do is read and sleep- theres a bed here handy. From the place that I am sitting I could almost throw a rock into Canada. There is just a swampy part of the Detroit river separating the island from Canada. The wild fowl, fishing birds herons. etc, keep making quite a racket but not enough to disturb my nap. Now for the flying. So far I’ve had about three hours of instruction, and am I getting good. I believe I could take one (plane) up and land it by myself, although I haven’t
